Few hunters in history can match the accomplishments of legendary hunter Tony Sanchez-Arino, who, with almost 1300 elephant, 2044 buffalo and 332 lion to his credit, is among the most experienced dangerous game hunters to ever go afield. Translating the sum of this experience into tangible form, Tony has teamed up with Belgium’s Dumoulin-Herstal to build dangerous game rifles integrating his preferences in rifle configuration and cartridge selection. The rifles of the Tony Sanchez-Arino collection are made to Tony’s technical specifications, designed to meet the requirements presented by the hunt for dangerous game. The collection includes both Sidelock and Boxlock Ejector Double Rifles in .375 H&H, .470 NE and .500 NE as well as magazine rifles on Mauser actions in dangerous game cartridges from .375H&H to .505 Gibbs. Every rifle in this prestigious collection has Tony’s signature engraved in gold on the barrel. Tony Sanchez-Arino is a well-known professional hunter and former professional ivory hunter who has hunted in Africa for fifty-five years and counting. Tony has authored several books on elephant hunting, including Elephants, Ivory, and Hunters; The Last of the Forty-two Years of African Safaris; and Elephant Hunters, Men of Legend. He hunted elephant professionally for ivory from 1952 until soon after the countries he hunted in gained independence and started having political and security problems. In the early days, there were elephants everywhere in seemingly endless numbers in what was then French Equatorial Africa, Belgian Congo, Cameroon, Sudan, and Somalia. In Liberia, in the 1950s, you could get a twelve-month license to shoot unlimited elephants for $250. There was not even tax on the ivory. In Belgian Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo) and Spanish Guinea (now Equatorial Guinea), the quota was also unlimited and you paid tax on the ivory after you shot the elephant
